It looks like Trent Reznor was serious about NIN being finished as a touring band because lots of NIN touring gear is being put up on EBay (so far it looks to be all guitars.) I’m including some of the active Nine Inch Nails gear auctions below, or you can CLICK HERE to see all [...]

Amazon is having some more of those “lightning deals” in celebration of “Cyber Monday” (similar to the deals they had on “Black Friday.”) These are the upcoming deals on CDs that you may want to check out (the prices are ridiculously low but the quantities are also low, so you have to act quickly.) The [...]

First let me define what I mean by “rated” (because without doing that, “underrated” doesn’t mean much.) I’m talking specifically about the “ratings” of people in the US because some of these bands are actually quite highly rated in the UK (The Stone Roses & Oasis being obvious examples.) I’m talking about a combination of [...]

Lots of folks are buying Susan Boyle’s debut album (it’s currently at #1 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list) even though it’s a style of music that most of the people buying it have no real interest in and certainly would not buy if it was by some random person they had never heard of. I think [...]

As a part of the many deals Amazon has today for “Black Friday” they are apparently going to have a great deal on The Beatles Remastered Stereo Box Set beginning at 2 PM EST (11AM PST) — Although since they are only dropping hints, it’s possible that it’s The Beatles Mono Box Set they’re talking [...]

Today I’m picking up from yesterday’s entry on Disc 1 of The White Album in my continuing series on “The Beatles in their Own Words.” “Birthday” McCartney: We thought, ‘Why not make something up?’ So we got a riff going and arranged it around this riff. We said, ‘We’ll go to there for a few [...]

The first Moby Grape record changed many lives and including that of my ex-wife, Elaine. What’s funny as I stand here in the rain is the idea that now I am an older man, I have forgotten about my ex-wife something fierce, but the music of Moby Grape like totally lingers or some junk. Why [...]

There’s also a selection of over 500 full albums currently available at Amazon.com at a price of only $5 per album.

I was reminded by a commenter that I needed to get back to work on this series. The next album in line is The White Album, which also happens to be my favorite Beatles album. I’ve decided to split this double album in half to make it a bit more manageable. Disc 2 comes tomorrow. [...]
